In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 236 Heaven has been quite kind to me, Extinction.
After receiving treatment from Gu Shaoan, Huang Xuemei immediately went into hiding.

After not seeing any further investigation from the Tianlongmen disciples, Huang Xuemei assumed that she had shaken them off.

Only now did they learn that the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect had actually approached Gu Shaoan and his companions.

As she spoke, Huang Xuemei's eyes showed even more guilt.

Gu Shaoan waved his hand gently and said in a calm tone, "Logically speaking, the culprit should not be blamed on the healer. I never expected that those people from Tianlongmen would disregard the rules of the martial world."

"Moreover, if it weren't for what happened ten years ago, why would Miss Huang come to help us today?"

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan's gaze swept across Huang Xuemei's face, pausing slightly when it touched the area between her nose and eyebrows.

A few breaths later, Gu Shaoan changed the subject: "I didn't expect that after ten years, Miss Huang's internal energy has already reached the level of Qi Condensation and Yuan Formation."

Huang Xuemei said slowly, "Compared to the changes in Young Master Gu over the past ten years, my improvement in strength is insignificant."

After ten years of cultivation, one can advance from the Acquired Realm to the current Qi Condensation Realm in terms of internal energy cultivation.

It would be a source of pride and amazement to others, no matter where it is placed.

While Huang Xuemei's improvement in strength is indeed astonishing, it is still within reason.

In the martial arts world, at best, one could only be described as "rarely seen".

But someone like Gu Shaoan, who could advance from the Acquired Realm to the Condensed Yuan Formation Realm within ten years and whose strength even surpassed Pang Ban's, was truly astonishing.

It's a sight that only happens once every few centuries.

Thinking of this, Huang Xuemei looked at Gu Shaoan with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She never imagined that the boy she met while fleeing for her life ten years ago, who was providing free medical care in Jiading Prefecture, would grow to such a terrifying level ten years later.

Just then, Gu Shaoan suddenly spoke up: "Judging from Miss Huang's complexion, it seems that she is injured."

Huang Xuemei was taken aback when she heard Gu Shaoan's sudden words.

However, recalling how Gu Shaoan had been able to discern Jin Bingyun's feigned death simply by observing her expression in front of the Golden Summit Hall, Huang Xuemei's initial shock quickly subsided.

He immediately nodded and said, "Young Master Gu's medical skills are indeed more profound than they were ten years ago."

Gu Shaoan smiled gently and extended his right hand, hovering it over the table.

"convenient?"

Understanding Gu Shaoan's meaning, Huang Xuemei raised her hand and placed it on the table.

Gu Shaoan placed three fingers of his right hand on Huang Xuemei's fair wrist.

A few breaths later, Gu Shaoan frowned slightly and removed his hand from Huang Xuemei's wrist.

“Miss Huang’s pulse is strong and powerful, throbbing and surging, which means that the true energy in her body is exceptionally vast and abundant, far exceeding the accumulation of experts at the same level who have condensed their Qi into Yuan.”

"But there is a hint of stagnation in this pulse, and the surging true energy also reveals a sense of fragility, as if it has been forcibly injected and is not firmly rooted."

"The sluggishness and stiffness of the pulse, revealing a suppressed tension, are enough to indicate that Miss Huang's meridians are somewhat damaged, and even her internal organs are affected."

"Has Miss Huang taken any potent drugs to enhance her skills in recent years?"

Huang Xuemei stated frankly, "Half a year ago, I took the Heavenly Dragon Pill, which was unique to the Heavenly Dragon Sect. It enhanced my power by ten years and also helped me enter the Qi Condensation Realm."

Hearing Huang Xuemei's explanation, Gu Shaoan nodded: "No wonder!"

After withdrawing his hand, Gu Shaoan said, "The internal energy cultivation method that Miss Huang practices is as fierce as fire, far surpassing ordinary internal energy cultivation methods. If she were to practice normally and have a solid foundation, it wouldn't have much of an impact."

"However, the effects of the medicine that Miss Huang took were too strong. Under the influence of these effects, Miss Huang's true energy was like adding fuel to the fire, which caused her meridians and internal organs to be affected."

"Therefore, when Miss Huang circulates her true energy, she will feel a slight stinging sensation in her body, especially in the Ren and Du meridians, where the pain is even more intense."

Huang Xuemei nodded and said, "Young Master Gu's medical skills are indeed amazing, and my condition is indeed as Young Master Gu said."

Gu Shaoan replied, "Miss Huang's condition is not a big deal at the moment, but it still needs some time to adjust. If her true energy is not stable enough, she will inevitably experience discomfort when she tries to mobilize it."

"If the true energy is pushed to its limit, the internal condition will worsen, making it easier for the girl to suffer a backlash from the true energy."

Gu Shaoan didn't know what kind of internal energy cultivation method Huang Xuemei practiced.

However, in Gu Shaoan's perception, the true essence within Huang Xuemei's body was just as powerful as the Nine Yang True Essence from cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Moreover, unlike the martial artist who cultivates the Nine Yang Divine Skill, whose true essence is extremely strong and yang.

Huang Xuemei's cultivation of true essence was completely unorthodox, focusing solely on brute force.

This also leads to a greater burden on the cultivator's meridians from these true essences.

Immediately afterward, Gu Shaoan said, "Miss Huang, please wait a moment," and then got up and walked towards his own courtyard.

A moment later, Gu Shaoan returned to the pavilion and placed the elixir bottle on the table.

"The pills inside were refined by me, and they have the effect of nourishing the meridians and regulating the five internal organs, which is just right for Miss Huang's condition."

"However, Miss Huang's internal energy cultivation method is unique, and her true energy is too fierce. Even with these pills, it will take three months for her meridians and internal organs to recover."

"Three months?" Hearing the time Gu Shaoan mentioned, Huang Xuemei glanced at the medicine bottle, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she felt that this time was too long.

She then looked up at Gu Shaoan, her gaze settling on his handsome face.

Upon closer inspection, Huang Xuemei had to admit that Gu Shaoan was much more handsome than he had been ten years ago.

Because of Gu Shaoan's gentle and warm demeanor, as well as his obvious scholarly air, he seemed more like a well-read young master from a noble family than a martial artist.

During those ten years, Huang Xuemei met many men whose looks were no less than Gu Shaoan's.

But Huang Xuemei didn't know if it was because of the rescue she gave him in that desperate situation ten years ago, but she always found Gu Shaoan more pleasing to the eye.

After quietly finishing her cup of tea, a resolute glint flashed in Huang Xuemei's eyes, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

"What are your plans next, Young Master Gu?"

Gu Shaoan, with a gentle smile on his face, said, "I will be going to the capital later to take care of some matters."

Upon learning of Gu Shaoan's upcoming schedule, Huang Xuemei raised an eyebrow slightly.

"How long will Young Master Gu stay in the capital?"

Gu Shaoan thought for a moment and said, "It could take a few days or more than a month."

After considering the time in her mind, Huang Xuemei nodded.

He then turned his head and glanced at the sky through the pavilion.

After putting away the pill bottle on the table, Huang Xuemei said, "Today's events have caused quite a stir. I imagine Young Master Gu has many things to attend to. Since the Emei Sect is alright, I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Gu Shaoan was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Huang Xuemei to suddenly suggest leaving.

But things did indeed turn out as Huang Xuemei described.

Today, Pang Ban was defeated and fled, but there are still people from the Beggars' Sect, the Evil Sect, and other forces on the mountain. Gu Shaoan needs to discuss with his elders, such as Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen, how to deal with them, and matters such as the promotion of the Emei Sect.

There are indeed many things to deal with. Regarding Huang Xuemei's intention to leave, Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "If Miss Huang needs anything in the future, she can send a message to Emei. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely go."

"it is good!"

After Huang Xuemei nodded slightly, she got up, picked up the case containing the Heavenly Demon Harp, and used her lightness skill to leave without any hesitation.

"That's interesting!"

In retrospect, Huang Xuemei was the first person Gu Shaoan had ever helped, and who then came back to repay the favor.

This act of kindness, which was once a spur-of-the-moment decision, turned into an unexpected joy many years later.

This gave Gu Shaoan a sudden feeling that "good deeds are rewarded."

I must say, this feeling is actually quite nice.

With a smile, Gu Shaoan tidied up the tea set on the table, picked up the Heaven-Slaying Sword again, and headed towards the front of the mountain.

night.

Back mountain.

In Abbess Miejue's courtyard, Abbess Miejue, Juechen, and Juejue, sitting on bamboo chairs, showed no signs of fatigue from being busy for several hours; on the contrary, they were all radiant.

The thought of the uproar in the martial arts world after the events on Mount Emei spread throughout the Great Wei Kingdom filled the three of them with excitement.

After a moment, Abbess Juechen looked at Gu Shaoan: "I originally thought that after you entered the level of Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang, you could at most fight the Demon Master Pang Ban to a draw. I never expected that your current strength is even stronger than I imagined. Even if you face the Demon Master Pang Ban, you can still defeat him."

As she spoke, Abbess Juechen looked at Gu Shaoan, whose figure was as upright as bamboo, and felt somewhat dazed.

The events of meeting Gu Shaoan ten years ago and even the journey back to Emei with him are still vivid in my mind.

In the blink of an eye, that child has grown to such a height.

At this moment, even Abbess Juechen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "The reason why Pang Ban was defeated today is that he underestimated his disciple at the beginning. The martial arts of the Demon Master Palace, which are based on spiritual energy, are too strange."

"If Pang Ban had used all his strength from the beginning and kept pushing his spiritual energy into his attacks, I could only have fought him to a draw at best."

On any other day, the group might have taken Gu Shaoan's words as modesty.

However, considering that Pang Ban had used his spiritual energy to instantly pull them into the illusion before leaving today, Abbess Miejue and the others looked more solemn.

Taking in the expressions of the others, Gu Shaoan said, "Master and Uncle, please rest assured. Pang Ban is seriously injured, and it will be difficult for him to recover from his injuries in a few years. There is nothing to worry about for the time being."

Then, Gu Shaoan began to recount his plans to travel to the capital and his plans for advancement within the Emei sect.

After listening to Gu Shaoan's story, Abbess Miejue asked, "When do you plan to set off?"

Gu Shaoan thought for a moment and said, "How about two days from now? If we can complete the registration with the court sooner, the news will spread when I return, and the banquet will go more smoothly."

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Miejue said, "You have considered things carefully. Everything will proceed according to your plan. Before you leave, remember to collect some money for yourself."

Gu Shaoan smiled and replied, "This disciple understands."

After speaking, Gu Shaoan stood up, bowed to Abbess Miejue and the others, and then turned and returned to his own courtyard.

After Gu Shaoan left, Abbess Miejue and the others remained silent in the courtyard for a long time.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly became deathly silent.

After a long pause, Abbess Wujue said with a hint of uncertainty, "So, from now on, my Emei Sect will once again become a first-rate force."

Let alone insulation, even Extinction and Dust, who were standing nearby, felt a sense of unreality at this moment.

For these individuals, simply keeping the Emei Sect from declining was already an achievement they had done their utmost.

As for restoring the Emei Sect to the ranks of first-class forces, that was hardly something Abbess Miejue and her group wanted.

It's not that they don't want to think about it, but rather that a few of them know they can't do it.

The only thing we can do is place our hopes on the younger generation of the Emei Sect, that they will one day live up to expectations and restore the glory of the Emei Sect.

However, with Gu Shaoan joining the Emei Sect, in just over ten years, things that the others dared not even dream of have become reality.

After a long while, Abbess Miejue exhaled a breath of stale air, forcibly calming herself down.

"Now it seems that Shaoan intends to use this incident to prepare for the banquet when our Emei Sect is promoted to a first-class power. In that case, we should complete the next steps as soon as possible."

"We can't touch the Evil Sect for now, but we must settle scores with the Beggars' Sect, Chang Le Sect, and Hai Sha Gang."

Abbess Juechen asked, "How far should we go? It wouldn't be appropriate to wipe out the Beggars' Sect or the Chang Le Sect, would it?"

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Miejue said, "Tomorrow, you two should make arrangements to send some elders from the sect, along with Zhiruo and Yan'er, to investigate the areas under the influence of the Beggars' Sect, Chang Le Sect, and Hai Sha Gang."

"Let's see how these forces usually behave. If they are well-behaved or only make some minor mistakes, then let it go and just give them a warning."

"But if they cause trouble in one area, then we can use this as an excuse to get rid of the evildoers inside, and then disband these sects."

The Beggars' Sect, Chang Le Men, and Hai Sha Gang are not located within the territory of Emei.

Previously, the various factions had absolutely no connection.

If we act rashly, we will inevitably violate the rules of the martial arts world.

However, this time, the Beggars' Sect and Chang Le Sect, among other forces, took the initiative to visit, and the matter of the Demon Master Pang Ban undoubtedly gave Emei a legitimate reason to deal with it.

After a pause, Abbess Miejue added, "Remember, whether now or in the future, we Emei Sect must always act uprightly and honestly."

"It has not been easy for Shao'an to help our Emei Sect return to a first-class position. We must not lose our original intentions because of the changes in the Emei Sect's status in the martial arts world, and tarnish the reputation of the Emei Sect and Shao'an."

Without hesitation, Abbess Wuzhu replied, "Senior Sister, don't you trust us? How could we possibly do anything reckless? Don't worry!"

Hearing Abbess Isolation's words, Abbess Extinction couldn't help but smile.

After a pause, Abbess Miejue suddenly spoke up: "With me, the sect leader, around, you two have suffered quite a bit these past few years."

For Abbess Miejue, there were many things she regretted in her life, but few things she was fortunate about.

But what Abbess Miejue was most grateful for, besides having a disciple like Gu Shaoan, was...

She had two fellow disciples, Juechen and Wuzhu, who could share her worries and were trusted by her in everything.

It was thanks to the support of these two that Abbess Miejue was able to support the Emei Sect through its most difficult times.

Even though Abbess Miejue was known for being "domineering" and "ruthless," she still had Juechen and Juejue silently supporting her.

Thinking about it this way, Abbess Miejue suddenly felt that although her life had been unfortunate, it had also been fortunate.

"Heavens have been kind to me, even to the point of extinction."
